Two months in and a lot to handle

Dr. James McIntyre hasn't been in Knoxville more than two months as the new school superintendent and he has already seen a tough budget, a spending freeze, an accident at Karns high school that led to the unfortunate death of a student and now a school shooting that has led to the death of another student. My thoughts and prayers go out to both families that have lost their kids, but I couldn't imagine what is going through the mind of our new superintendent. I hope he is ready for this challenge.

Once again, my thoughts and prayers are out to both of these families.

Tim Burchett for Mayor....

Well, although this is old news, the public now knows that Tim Burchett will be running for mayor. The question is, who will be running against him. It has come to my attention that the following will turn their petitions in to run. Now, i'm sure their will be more. But it'll be interesting if these all actually do...

Tim Hutchison
Mike Hammond
Mike Padgett
Randy Tyree

It'll be interesting to see how the conversation goes between Tim and Tim before they begin running against each other. Now, I really hope Randy Tyree doesn't waste the publics time with another lackluster campaign, then again, what else is there for him to do. As for Mike Padgett, well, it's rumored he ran for the Senate with the idea of Mayor in mind. Deep down, I hope he runs and wins the democratic primary. Reason being is that i'll look forward to campaigning against him come the general.....

Picture of the day!

And if you have read his tax plan, you would understand why...
